Fluorite - unusual locale-etched sharp cube (Ref: A-28-016)

Crystal Victory Mine, Hardin County, Illinois, United States

79mm x 66mm x 50mm

minID: WAQ-7CU

We all miss the great Fluorites that were once common when the southern Illinois mines were still open. At last something NEW from the region! This little known Hardin County Fluorite locale (the junction area of the Victory and the Crystal Mine) recently produced a very few nice specimens for a small collector team. Here a super sharp 4.5 CM cube is centered on a mix of cubes and etched masses of bright purple and yellow. Nice phantoms are seen on the edges, but the overall impact is very good. One of the better small cabinet specimens from this find.
